The chair makes it look like Mike's wearing a doo rag under his hat 😂.

[@kennysesker6094]

My first thought was “Is Mike wearing a du rag” 🤣🤣

[@BossHoggOnKandy]

Fashion forward

[@Texaco_]

I thought the exact same thing 😂😂😂

[@GeraldGruenigMedia1]

He is

[@xrystiang8923]

Calling out mcgregor should be an automatic 1 year suspension at this point...

[@0regiao]

I agree with NYR. Like mike and Jed are also right to some extent because mic work does matter some but not as extensively as they want us to think. They aren’t mutually exclusive. Bad mic work wont hurt you if you as a fighter are good enough and or entertaining enough, but if you have good mic, it work will help. Belals terrible call outs wouldn’t matter if people didn’t find him boring and cringey(i dont agree) regardless of said call outs.

[@windowlizard]

Yo doggies love this trio! Joaquin def blowing it calling for Connor but im surprised Mike n jed couldn’t understand rics point. Thought it was a good point and a good debate from an intelligent group. Also felt the two points aren’t necessarily mutually exclusive. Appreciate all the content! 👊

[@Zolo00]

Mike and Jed circlejerk everytime they get together. Mike wanted so hard to make this narrative and its just backfiring. No one even remembers the JDM callout because it was a boring. People will talk about Buckley because he at least tries to entertain inside and outside his fights. Watching Ric put Mike in his place was hilarious

[@Zolo00]

Seeing New York Ric absolutely fluster Mike Heck is hilarious. You wanted this narrative to take away from Buckley's performance and his homecoming win. Go kick rocks kid.

[@grac1910]

He shocked him by how stupid his take was. If im an mma fan, I wanna watch Buckley less after that unoriginal, dumb-witted callout

[@jacobrogers1505]

Jed saying “this is my time baby” after literally just interrupting Rick is so typical of him

[@jbuc1]

NYR IS 100% correct on this that callout stuff literally doesn’t matter

[@lukewolfgang5002]

NYR is 💯 right. You all spend more time talking about Buckley’s silly non callouts, that just proves his point.

[@louiematarazzo]

I agree with New York Rick on this one. What you say post fight usually means nothing. The ufc will match make you with whoever. We need to stop the WWE nonsense

[@distruct58]

I agree with Rick look at Moicano, Strickland Charles Olivera anyone decent on the mic calling out a fighter isn’t what matters making it memorable and getting attention is

[@andreray2784]

I agree with NY Rick. Thank you for blowing away that stupid myth.

[@luklopskywalk]

Rick is so right about mic work

[@Mushypepper42069]

This trio is so good, yall need a debate show. The content is great.

[@GeraldGruenigMedia1]

You mean like between the links?

[@Kwigs_kun]

Love Jed and Mike but gotta say I'm with Ric on the callouts. They're so stale at this point I rarely care what fighters say post-fight, and UFC seems to feel the same way

[@Christina-li8bv]

Mike you’re proving Ricks point!!

[@zephyrleapold6796]

What I like about this show is consistency. Thanks.

[@CptTango22]

We need Ric on every post show

[@lukeluna3732]

16:38 i agree bro who cares, YOURE DOWN PLAYING BUCKLEYS AWESOME PERFORMANCE. because he made the call out he wanted. 🤦🏼🤦🏼

[@ethanrodriguez9961]

What a great fight night from start to finish ... truly did not expect it

[@ComedyHorn]

that durag offends me. thank u lol

[@GeraldGruenigMedia1]

Mike wearing a du rag is the most gangster thing in MMA today

[@connormacleodfarley4739]

Rick way off on this one. If you have the perfect 1-2 realistic names ahead of you in the division that you know are free you absolutely have like a 50% chance of being able to make your own booking. Also, the Buckley call out of McGregor is nowhere on the mma media sites. It really didn’t get that much attention.

[@aim6613]

So let's put in perspective if the call out is -perfect -1 to 2 names realistically -happen to be free then after those requirements you still might have a 50% percent chance of it being booked? Seems like a post fight call out, more often than not, is not going to coming through...exactly what Ric was alluding to.

[@Onlybadtakes2589]

Lol these guys really dont like Buckley for calling out Ariel. Thought it was a feel good moment given how he promoted really hard to get on the card and to have such a performance

[@TUC4MOT3]

The mic call outs only work if you’re in a space where you have won the fans with your skill and performances. If someone like Diego Lopes who won the crowd vs Evloev and on his next wins after UFC300 starts going wild and calling out top 5 guys like Volk, Yair, Ortega, etc people would be interested

[@NeoValeTudo]

Wait was Nick Newell actually the favorite against Gaethje? I’ve spotted an irregularity, matrix confirmed guys

[@PjXu98]

Robelis Despagne got exposed real bad. We now know that he's a one trick pony, a great striker with knockout power, but a very bad grappler and a very bad gas tank.

[@luckyspurs]

Also his punch power didn't look as good with the opponent swaying away from it, rather than running in with their head on the centre line.

[@omarisawesome1996]

Im coming back to this video when the buckley vs conor fight gets made

[@davidpaul4716]

Who would be the best fighter vs Lewis for the Heavyweight BMF?

[@derek234]

3 pansies arguing was great!!😂

[@Ronycoolman00]

And the fourth calling them out, pretty funny 😂

[@NeoValeTudo]

I just wanted to hear about how dumb and bad Despaigne is and why he’ll win his next 5 fights

[@lukeluna3732]

BUCKLEY WAS AWESOME LAST NIGHT.... thats the story. Whooooo cares about the call outs! Literally who......cares!

[@lukeluna3732]

He wants to fight Conor and how do you get that... by calling him out. That's the guy he really wants and who they give him he doesn't care.

[@omarisawesome1996]

The casual report

[@lakesification]

Ric is often wrong.

[@dagwood5041]

Classic Ric

[@Seanmoody61604]

But wait till rozenstruck n Lewis fight. Ppl will get em confused

[@coreyhankins9253]

Oh god Rick, just stop haha you are sounding like Buckley lol

[@luckyspurs]

22:32 What on earth is Mike talking about. If Belal called out Khamzat he wouldn't be favourite to get a title shot now. Why fight Khamzat not for a belt, when you can navigate to a title shot, as even Belal has done, without taking that risk.

[@depthsofhell]

Hes just trying to defend his buddy ariel because buckley called him an instigator so therefor buckley is public enemy for mmafighting regardless of what he does in the cage it appears

[@johnno6755]

Like it or not, Buckley is a popular guy. Absolute haters haha. Mike wants ufc to be the wwf so badly 😂

[@doughuynh58]

Alex C definitely won that fight

[@generios3129]

Yall proving Rick's point. Horrible. Couldn't even listen to the rest

[@walzy8130]

Jed and Ricks laughs are contagious, love this lineup

[@luklopskywalk]

Such bs stop talking about the mic work RALK ABOUT THE FIGHTS 25MINS IN AND IT IS JUST BICKERING

[@graham71681]

I stopped at the 20 min mark, I don't care who is wrong or right, take it off air and talk about the actual fights and not "mic talk"

[@lukeluna3732]

Buckley really wants to fight conor so he called him out. Who he gets he really doesnt care... its simple.

[@gregorymansbach9753]

Rick should be voted off the island for his Buckley call out take.

[@Onlybadtakes2589]

I agree with Ric and Jose Young, mic time is overblown by mma media because they want storylines

[@Beni-wh7ej]

Jared is right about the call-out talk .

[@southsidemilly414]

Who’s Jared lol

[@dagwood5041]

​@@southsidemilly414Jared Cashew? lol

[@qh4007]

He might make the most $ ov er r tis

[@jcblomstedt]

Hot take: Calling out Connor might grab random non mma hardcore headlines to get JBs name out

[@saltysax81]

2 thumbs up for no AK #keepakaway

[@luklopskywalk]

Boo

[@RemingtonMiles-sr9uf]

Nursulton had nothing for Joaquin in this fight as expected. Conor don't want none of Buckley. Buckley would put Conor in a world of hurt. Make the man retire and switch to acting permanently lol

[@mjcpiano6936]

omg can you shut up about the callouts after repeating yourselves five times? Did you listen to the rest of the callback? The crowd groaned but then Buckley doubled down and made it funny and the crowd responded positively. It was clearly just an attraction getting callout and not a serious one. It was still dumb in terms of it being realistic, but OK we get it move on. Both things can be true. Doesn't have to be "no it's this' "noooooooooo it's this" "nooo you midsunderstand" "noooo you misunderstand". I'm cringing harder than after a Buckley callout.

[@mikolpihl5068]

Lots of bickering lately, not fun to listen to boys

[@technicaldifficultiessup-sw2xj]

If you told me yesterday there would be a time i agreed with jed and disagreed with ny Rick I'd say you're a troll. But here we are

[@georgeg6372]

ricku fool, u dont get wwe-mma

[@andriykorobov]

lol using paddy is a stupid argument because he is basically Connor 0.2, every one calls him out and he sits and gets fat. so just tell moicano to stop and not pretend that the 10th time he calls for it is still a call out

[@daved4463]

Ric is hard to listen to.

[@Littlenovatv]

Bro It's time to dump Jed. That dude is a straight downer. Most of the time, it seems like he doesn't care for MMA or rather not be on the show. Either way, just make it a 2-man show plz.

[@dagwood5041]

nah Jose youngs is way worse, most apathetic dude in mma

[@0regiao]

@@dagwood5041thats just José personality in general tbh.

[@connormacleodfarley4739]

[@0regiao]

@@connormacleodfarley4739 I like all of them hahah i dont know why people get so worked up and personal about them.

[@olivierolzolz1693]

What the h... is this ridiculous argument made by Jed M. and Mike H. regarding the importance of the immediate callout in the octagon after a win? And what's that nonsensical example of Belal M.? His bad callouts have absolutely nothing but nothing to do with them? The UFC just doesn't like his fighting style and fear he could keep the belt for a while without allowing the company to cash out on the PPV. Maybe there's also some political views he stood for that got on Dana White's nerves. The callout in the octagon is part of the show, nothing more. Gee, I've rarely seen two of the three co-hosts of the show be so wrong about something. At the beginning, I thought they were pranking NewYorkRic. Thank God he was there, though the other two were so convinced that he couldn't make them budge in the slightest.

[@mepp7573]

I don’t see how one can deny a good callout couldn’t have an effect on your future fights.

[@luckyspurs]

Mike's idea that Belal should have fought Chimaev rather than done what he's done, is absolutely ridiculous. Belal is literally number 1 contender the way he's done it. Without having had to fight a Covington, Usman or Chimaev. He's got to number 1 contender fighting 5-12 in the rankings guys he knows he can beat.

[@mepp7573]

@@luckyspurs You can give Belal credit for what he's done, but he still hasn't fought for the title. Number one contender doesn't mean anything 100%, we know this. Beneil, unlike Belal, has an entertaining fight style, but his call outs were even worse. "I'll fight 10 more guys if I have to." Never got a shot. Call out a realistic name, it can't hurt.

[@0regiao]

@@mepp7573youre stuck in the same hole mike was. Ric is saying that a bad mic job wont matter, not that a good one wont help. They aren’t mutually exclusive. Bad mic work wont affect you, good mic work can however help.

[@mepp7573]

@@0regiao I understand. In my opinion, if there is a potential positive from a good call out, then a bad callout is a potential negative do to the missed opportunity of a positive. I do agree with Ric that attention is important. Calling out Conor is stupid, but he got us talking.

[@middlefinger456]

28:30 NYR is just wrong. The call out matters because all self promotion matters

[@djhungzilla]

I'm really tired of NY Rick. He adds no value to this show stop having him on.

[@depthsofhell]

They are in a pickle as ric and ak suck horribly and everyone else they bring in jed just argues with

[@djhungzilla]

I really hate NY Rick I'm going to stop watching this show if you guys keep inviting him on

[@luckyspurs]

Given the choice of getting rid of NY Rick or Super Chats from the show, which way would people go. I'd get rid of Super Chats. To be honest, Mike's the one I find a bit of a drag.

[@Necro666cult]

Worst part of the mma hour
